1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundMung bean soup (MBS), as a common form of mung bean consumption, is widely consumed in folk to relieve summer heat. However, MBS is prone to red discoloration during cooking and storage. Furthermore, how this color change affects its phenolic compounds composition and bioactivity remains poorly understood.

objectivesHerein, this study systematically compared the phenolic profiles and heat stress (HS)-alleviating effects of normal mung bean soup (NMBS) and reddened mung bean soup (RMBS).

methodsMale C57BL/6J mice (six-week-old) were randomly assigned to four groups: control (no HS), HS, HS-NMBS, and HS-RMBS. HS was induced at 40 °C for 2 h/day for 7 days, with NMBS or RMBS provided ad libitum throughout the experiment. Phenolic analysis, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory cytokines, and gut microbiota were evaluated.

resultsThe results showed that reddening significantly reduced the total phenolic and flavonoid contents by 18.28% and 16.77%, respectively, accompanied by the loss of key bioactive compounds (vitexin and isovitexin). NMBS and RMBS could effectively alleviate HS-induced physiological damages in mice to varying degrees, including reduced weight loss, improved hepatic and intestinal histopathology, and lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation (

conclusionsThese results highlight the importance of avoiding the occurrence of redness in MBS to maximize its efficacy.
